The word for this week is CORRECT. Here's what I got:
Come Correct
Copyright 2010
My name is NOT
baby
slim
ho
bitch
sexy
shorty
sweet thang
If you put these titles on me
you obviously
don't know
who I am
I am
a Colored girl
a Diamond in the rough
a Black girl who rocks
i wear
weaves
braids
wigs
cornrows
depending on my mood
i like to snuggle on the couch
in my leopard print Snuggie
with a cup of
Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate with mini marshmallows
and a good book
i color with Crayola crayons
in coloring books
while laying on the floor
with my daughter
i scream
"run baby run"
at the top of my lungs
as my handsome son runs
the football down the field
i dance slow
with my arms tight
around my man
as I whisper in his ear
i work hard
for the education of children
no matter
their race, ethnicity, gender or
economic status
(although little Black girls with bright eyes and braids steal my heart)
i believe
in the wonder of love
the power of prayer
and that God has a purpose for my life
My name is
Beautiful
Blessed
Beloved
Intelligent
Strong
Kind
I AM
a Colored girl
a Diamond in the Rough
a Black girl who rocks
a CHILD OF GOD
I know my worth
so come to me correct
or don't come at all....
Its such a beautiful and true poem that all I could do was think about the words, JUST FOR ME!!!
